Justin Posted October 11, 2006 Report Posted October 11, 2006 I HATED that box the one time I hit up CB last season. It wasnt mellow at all and it just hucked you off, which made you lose your balance so you can't even do anything past like 270 off of it Quote
Shadows Posted October 11, 2006 Report Posted October 11, 2006 but..guys, this time its NEW so it may be different Quote
Papasteeze Posted October 11, 2006 Report Posted October 11, 2006 but..guys, this time its NEW so it may be different you don't really believe that,, do you? Quote
librider Posted October 11, 2006 Author Report Posted October 11, 2006 you don't really believe that,, do you? It was sarcasm Quote
Papasteeze Posted October 11, 2006 Report Posted October 11, 2006 It was sarcasm wasn't sure thought so, but yeah, I posted that pic because it is an indication that they probably still haven't figured it out. Sometimes I think the people building jibs aren't connected to the people riding them at places. Rainbow to kicker usually sucks unless done really mellow. ah yep... I need to find a thread over at CB from somebody in park mgmt.. Quote
DHarrisburg Posted October 12, 2006 Report Posted October 12, 2006 Why does CB keep wasting money on shitty jibs? Quote
Papasteeze Posted October 12, 2006 Report Posted October 12, 2006 Why does CB keep wasting money on shitty jibs? I think it is because they have someone in a position of park manager that doesn't know what they are doing. Not sure, but yeah, I am getting disappointed, a park pass system to a junk yard with limited jumps and a pipe will be an improvement but not much of one when compared to the other mountains. Quote
poop Posted October 12, 2006 Report Posted October 12, 2006 i actually kinda liked that shitty box half way through the season. you can dick off on it so much. like stall out on it and shit, spin onto it going up, different shit. it didnt really kick you off later on in the year. but i remember when they first got it i fell not expecting that kick.

pyro_boarder Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 It also seemed to be set up on an angle when it was first setup. Quote
stbgskibum247 Posted October 16, 2006 Report Posted October 16, 2006 yea, rainbow to kicker......i'd prefer a nice flat bar to that any day. That rainbow box looks really small for what it is. If it was more like Bear Creeks rainbow box that would be cool. The pic on their site labeled "flat down rail" worries me. It looks pretty small...i could be wrong, but i hope it's at least moderately long. I also dont understand why camelback insists on building all their boxes so insanely wide. Overall i'm not very impressed with these improvements, especially compared to the amount of work that all of the other local mountains are putting into their parks. Quote
method9455 Posted October 16, 2006 Report Posted October 16, 2006 Yea I'm not suprised, Camelback hasn't understood modern terrain parks in a long time. They should build a good intro park but they can not compete with JFBB, Blue, Mountain Creek, or Bear Creek. Just not on the same page. Quote
